An Excellent Source of Vitamins and Minerals

-
_______________________

"The combination of factors make mushrooms excellent sources of nutrition, but without the calories. On average, mushrooms contain about 25 kcal per 100 gram (fresh), which is on par with capsicum, carrot, cauliflower and broccoli."


Prof. Dr. Fred Brouns, Health Food Innovation, advisor Scelta Mushrooms

Mushrooms are considered to be very healthy. They are not only low in calories, they also contain lots of fibre and they are an important source of key vitamins and minerals. Mushrooms are often chosen as a vegetarian substitute for meat because they are an important source of protein. They contain more than twice the amount of protein than other vegetables. They are often used in diets because they help you feeling full. But there is more. When it comes to health and healthy eating, the mushroom is no less than a small miracle.

MUSHROOMS AND VITAMINS

Mushrooms contain many essential vitamins, such as vitamin B, C and D. Vitamin B is good for a healthy skin and helps to prevent heart disease. Furthermore, vitamins B2 and B3 are contributing in maintaining red blood cells and a healthy nerve function. Vitamin D, associated with strong teeth and bones, turns out to do much more for our bodies: it’s important for cell division and strengthens the immune system. Mushrooms are the only non-animal source of this vitamin, which is very unique and of course good news for vegetarians! Mushrooms naturally contain vitamin D but this is increased when mushrooms are exposed to sunlight.
 
🟣 Watch the video below and learn how to boost your Vitamin D levels by turning your mushrooms into a natural potent source of UV light converted Vitamin D.



MUSHROOMS AND MINERALS

Furthermore, mushrooms contain many essential minerals, such as iron, phosphor, copper, potassium and selenium. Potassium is an important mineral that aids in the maintenance of fluid, which helps to control blood pressure. Phosphorus, in combination with calcium, forms the structure of our teeth and bones. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that protects the cells from damage that might lead to heart disease and some cancers. Selenium is hardly ever found in vegetables. Mushrooms are one of the richest, natural sources of selenium. One single portion of mushrooms can provide a quarter of the daily needs of selenium.

I wonder, do dried mushrooms have the same health benefits as fresh ones?

Fresh mushrooms are roughly 80% water, so when they are dried, you are left with a highly concentrated product, packed with flavour and nutrients. Unlike vegetables, which lose much of their nutritional value when processed, dried mushrooms retain all of their medicinal and immune-boosting properties. That being said, Mushroom Powders are now available as a natural organic supplement that you can incorporate into your daily routine. #mushroompower

Guide To Identifying Mushrooms

-
Image
For those new to the field, identifying mushrooms may seem intimidating. But knowing just a few of the key characteristics to look for can go a long way in helping you learn how to identify the different mushroom species. Below are six key characteristics you should try to observe when identifying a mushroom: 01. Cap The cap is, usually, the first feature to catch the mushroom foragers eye. Sitting atop the mushroom’s stalk, caps vary tremendously in size, shape, and color , and each of these features may change as a mushroom grows and develops. The shape of a mushroom cap is unique from species to species, which is helpful for identification.  02. Mushroom Cap Undersides Beneath the cap of many common mushrooms, you’ll find either gills, pores, ridges, or teeth. These are the parts of a mushroom’s anatomy that produce and release spores. These parts of a mushroom are important for identification because many species look similar based on the appearance of their cap. The underside ...

Grow Your Own Mushrooms

Having fresh, hand-picked mushrooms available at your fingertips is much easier than most people initially think. All you need is a few materials and the right environment and you will be able to grow most of your favorite mushrooms all year-round. Mushrooms are not a one-size fits all type of organism to grow. The type of mushroom you are growing will determine what substrate is needed to cultivate the spores best. Most common mushrooms grown at home include:  🍄 Shiitake 🍄 White Button 🍄 Maitake 🍄 Oyster  🍄 Portobello The importance of the right growing substrate cannot be understated when attempting to grow mushrooms at home. Like plants, mushrooms have their preferences for their growing medium; if these preferences are not met, they might grow poorly.  Shiitake mushrooms prefer to grow on hardwood sawdust or wood chip substrate and would not grow well in compost or manure-type substrate. Alternatively, straw works well for oyster mushrooms, and compost or manur...

Best Mushroom Foraging Apps

Mushroom identification is not an easy task, even for experts, as there  are hundreds of thousands of species of wild mushrooms. Some mushrooms are edible, a few can send you on a mystical journey, and several will try and kill you. So how are we supposed to tell them all apart? Experience, and careful practice, honed over many years, is the best way to really learn how to identify mushrooms. However, there are some helpful mushroom identification apps that can lend a hand along the way. It is not a good idea to leave the final decision of whether to eat mushrooms to an identification app. Still, they can be useful when you just want a general idea of what you are looking at.  Many of these apps also rely on you being able to get a high-quality photo of the mushroom. So if you’re unable to do that, your results might not be accurate.  Mushroom identification apps are convenient. And they are an excellent tool for novice mushroom foragers who want to orient themselves to t...

NCAD Art Project, Irish Forests & Fairies - A St. Patrick's Day Special

Image
(Image: Dall-e-2) A n NCAD Graphic Design Student named Niamh Kinch has created an interactive project on Mushrooms in Ireland.  She describes it here:  "  This project focuses on the power of fungi within Ireland’s green spaces. It aims to show the full potential of fungi in an Irish setting through a communication design lens. It explores the well-known uses of fungi while also diving into the lesser-known but extremely fascinating world of the fungi kingdom in an effort to shine a light on the remarkable uses of these organisms. We are fortunate enough to live in a lush, flourishing country full of forests, fields and parks, all teeming with an array of fungi, so why not utilise this amazing natural material? This project portrays fungi’s important role in our fight against climate change, while also taking a more fun approach through forest fungi hunts and outdoor activities. It aims to provide a balance between work and pleasure in the fungi kingdom and to get people...
